[DanielB]

http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menu/slide_show.html#nogo went there and i love how those tabs look but i'm trying to think of a way to integrate them into my site. any ideas?:dunno

Man that guy can do anything with an unordered list.

If you were a real programmer you could populate the required unordered lists with a selection of your popular shots and a selection from a couple of galleries (using those gallery RSS feeds of course). Then you could have a constantly changing fancy drop-hover thingy to show off your pics.

If I were any kind of programmer I'd be able to show you exactly how to do that. :dunno

Oooo, that sounds fun.:wink

Not automatically changing up the images from the RSS feeds. The html and CSS part I can do no sweat...

Reading is fundamental (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596101996/sr=8-4/qid=1148958146/ref=pd_bbs_4/102-6504340-2218511?%5Fencoding=UTF8). Race me to the end of the book because I'm thinking the answer lies in there - or at least the information you need to be able to do the automagic part - and I'll have to get through it in order to help you out anyhow.

Here's a really quick hack to load my popular photos, obviously you will need to be able to build some content.

But it might be a good start.


<script type="text/javascript">
var xmlDoc;
loadRss();
function loadRss()
{
//load xml file
// code for IE
if (window.ActiveXObject)
{
xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xmlDoc.async=false;
xmlDoc.load("http://introversion.smugmug.com/hack/feed.mg?Type=popularNickname&Data=introversion&format=rss200");
processRss()
}
// code for Mozilla, etc.
else if (document.implementation && document.implementation.createDocument)
{
xmlDoc= document.implementation.createDocument("","",null);
xmlDoc.load("http://introversion.smugmug.com/hack/feed.mg?Type=popularNickname&Data=introversion&format=rss200");
xmlDoc.onload=processRss
}
else
{
alert('Your browser cannot handle this script');
}
}

function processRss()
{
var photoList = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("enclosure")
for (i = 0; i < photoList.length; i++)
alert(photoList[i].getAttributeNode("url").value);
}
</script>

so what that does is it makes it so the photos will change with the voting, yes?:dunno

yes, this code loads the popular photos from the RSS feed. Unfortunately, I trying to finish my SM FF extension so I don't have the time right now to expand this example any more

Maybe it a good project to cut ur teeth on or perhaps someone else is interested in taking this up.

Never fear, it's not java. It's javascript!
